Business Wire
Charter Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: CHTR) now offers Charter
Telephone customers additional value and convenience through the
Worldwide 250 Calling Plan. Already a great value, Charter is
bringing its customers an international calling service that allows
a customer 250 minutes to call over 200 worldwide destinations for
an additional $20 per month, with no hidden fees and no per-minute
or connection charges. The service was officially launched at
International Institute of St. Louis, the nationally recognized,
88-year-old St. Louis agency which helps refugees and immigrants to
independence by providing a broad array of social services for new
Americans to more than 8,000 men, women and children each year.
�Because we believe that the Charter Worldwide 250 Calling Plan
will make distant places feel a little closer to home, we chose to
launch this new service at the International Institute,� said Ted
Schremp, Charter Telephone Senior Vice President and General
Manager. With the Worldwide 250 Calling Plan, Charter Telephone
customers can initiate international calls for up to a total of 250
minutes each month for $20, eliminating traditional phone company,
country-based pricing for customers calling internationally and
avoiding the inconvenience of purchasing prepaid calling cards.
Instead of paying a monthly international plan fee plus per-minute
rates or having fees subtract minutes from a phone card, Charter�s
calling plan allows calling to more than 200 destinations for one
low price per month to stay in touch with friends and loved ones
and stay within a budget. �Phone calls are the main connection for
many immigrants to home cities and villages throughout the world,�
said Anna Crosslin, President and CEO of International Institute
St. Louis. �Our clients need an easy, safe, reliable and
inexpensive means to stay in touch with those they have left
behind.� Charter Telephone has grown its footprint to pass more
than 7.6 million homes and is already recognized for its unlimited
nationwide calling plan, which offers customers unlimited local and
long distance calling for the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico. �Now,
our customers can talk for 250 minutes to friends and family around
the globe for only $20 per month,� said Mr. Schremp. �Charter�s
Worldwide 250 Calling Plan is another example of our investment in
improving the customer experience,� according to Mr. Schremp.
�Because we�re part of each community we serve, we�re committed to
building long-term relationships with our customers by efficiently
delivering value-added services and providing quality, convenience
and compelling value through our triple-play bundle of services.�
The Worldwide 250 Calling Plan must be ordered in addition to
Charter Telephone�s standard unlimited local and long-distance
calling plan, starting at $29.99 per month with no per-call or
connection charges. The Worldwide Plan is for calls made to
landline phones only. For more information go to
